POST PROCESSING PROCEDURES
After a part is printed, there are steps that must be followed before it can be considered nished. Following these steps to successfully process
parts.
STEPS FOR POST PROCESSING A PART
1. When a part is nished printing the platform will raise and the
platform clamps will release. Lift the entire platform off of the
printer.
NOTE: Make sure you are wearing nitrile gloves when
handling build platforms and parts to keep hands free
of material.
2. Place the platform in a freezer for approximately 30 minutes.
This will cool the parts and enable them to separate easily
from the platform.
NOTE: Placing print platform on a metal surface as
shown here speeds up the cooling time.
3. After parts are cooled sufciently, wearing nitrile gloves,
place parts in a metal basket.
NOTE: Nitrile gloves must be worn when handling all
parts that have not been processed.
